When Paris Went Dark: The City of Light under German Occupation, 1940-1944.
Back Bay Books, 2015, in-8°, xxxiv-449-12 pp, 60 photos, illustrations et plans, chronologie, notes, biblio, index, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état. Texte en anglais
On June 14, 1940, German tanks entered a silent and nearly deserted Paris. Eight days later, France accepted a humiliating defeat and foreign occupation. Subsequently, an eerie sense of normalcy settled over the City of Light. Many Parisians keenly adapted themselves to the situation – even allied themselves with their Nazi overlords. At the same time, amidst this darkening gloom of German ruthlessness, deportations, shortages, and curfews, a resistance arose. Parisians of all stripes – Jews, immigrants, adolescents, communists, rightists, cultural icons such as Colette, de Beauvoir, Camus, and Sartre, as well as police officers, teachers, students, and store owners – rallied around a little-known French military officer, Charles de Gaulle. “When Paris Went Dark” evokes with stunning precision the detail of daily life in a city under occupation, and the brave people who fought against the darkness. Relying on a range of resources – memoirs, diaries, letters, archives, interviews, personal histories, flyers and posters, fiction, photographs, film and historical studies – Rosbottom has forged a groundbreaking book that will forever influence how we understand those dark years in the City of Light.
PARIS SOULS : Unexpected Histories from the City of Light
, Hannibal Books, 2023 PB+, 240 x 160 mm, 560 pages, ENG edition, illustrated, . ISBN 9789464666403.
In this book, reality always outdoes fiction and truth always outdoes myth. Get ready for a personal encounter with police inspectors and filles la cuisse l g re, Impressionists and art thieves, swindlers and bankers, poisoners and surgeons, collaborators and members of the resistance, Cubists and anarchists, painters' models and curators, terrorists and duellists, Huguenots and Catholics, criminals and executioners. In intriguing, often forgotten histories such as 'The Chanel versus Wertheimer', 'Lenin's Yellow Jersey' and 'Selling the Eiffel Tower', hundreds of Parisian souls are brought back to life behind the fa ades, in the passages, on the squares and along the avenues and boulevards of the City of Light In Paris Souls, the reader samples the idiosyncratic harvest of someone who, after many seasons in his favourite city, still takes delight in its fruits. Author Dirk Velghe recounts facts and stories about the unusual people and events that have coloured Paris, sometimes with paint, sometimes with blood. Histories the way only a true Parisian can tell them. Light-hearted but always drawing on thorough research, Velghe gives a completely new twist to the history of Paris. His no-nonsense prose and narrative flair make for compelling reading.
